Psalms 141
1 A Psalme of David. O Lord, I call vpon thee: haste thee vnto me: heare my voyce, when I cry vnto thee.
Psalmus David. [Domine, clamavi ad te: exaudi me; intende voci meæ, cum clamavero ad te.
2 Let my prayer be directed in thy sight as incense, and the lifting vp of mine hands as an euening sacrifice.
Dirigatur oratio mea sicut incensum in conspectu tuo; elevatio manuum mearum sacrificium vespertinum.
3 Set a watch, O Lord, before my mouth, and keepe the doore of my lips.
Pone, Domine, custodiam ori meo, et ostium circumstantiæ labiis meis.
4 Incline not mine heart to euill, that I should commit wicked workes with men that worke iniquitie: and let me not eate of their delicates.
Non declines cor meum in verba malitiæ, ad excusandas excusationes in peccatis; cum hominibus operantibus iniquitatem, et non communicabo cum electis eorum.
5 Let the righteous smite me: for that is a benefite: and let him reprooue me, and it shalbe a precious oyle, that shall not breake mine head: for within a while I shall euen pray in their miseries.
Corripiet me justus in misericordia, et increpabit me: oleum autem peccatoris non impinguet caput meum. Quoniam adhuc et oratio mea in beneplacitis eorum:
6 When their iudges shall be cast downe in stonie places, they shall heare my wordes, for they are sweete.
absorpti sunt juncti petræ judices eorum. Audient verba mea, quoniam potuerunt.
7 Our bones lye scattered at the graues mouth, as he that heweth wood or diggeth in the earth. (Sheol h7585)
Sicut crassitudo terræ erupta est super terram, dissipata sunt ossa nostra secus infernum. (Sheol h7585)
8 But mine eyes looke vnto thee, O Lord God: in thee is my trust: leaue not my soule destitute.
Quia ad te, Domine, Domine, oculi mei; in te speravi, non auferas animam meam.
9 Keepe me from the snare, which they haue layde for me, and from the grennes of the workers of iniquitie.
Custodi me a laqueo quem statuerunt mihi, et a scandalis operantium iniquitatem.
10 Let the wicked fall into his nettes together, whiles I escape.
Cadent in retiaculo ejus peccatores: singulariter sum ego, donec transeam.]
